In the multi-billion dollar promotional products industry, corporations bought a record breaking 11.9 billion dollars worth of promotional products in 2006 alone.
The promotional products industry has been around for over 100 years and has grown into one of the most utilized forms of advertising available in today's marketplace. Just look around you, even in your own home, take note of how many promotional products you see and use everyday. Promotional products are quite possibly the longest lasting advertisement a business can utilize and should be an integral part of any marketing campaign. Used in just about any promotion or marketing plan, promotional products will add longevity with the use of unique and customized items displaying a logo or message with staying power.
Successful companies today, both large and small, use promotional products in integrated marketing to enhance relationships with their customers as well as employees. One of the most cost effective to

When putting together an orientation package for a school,
university, or business; there are many promotional items to consider.
However, perhaps the most integral and often overlooked item is the
simple custom sports bottle.
There are many positive promotional
elements to a custom sports bottle such as a large print area to display
a logo, emblem or organization message. The overwhelming need and
utility of the product itself-everyone needs to drink and transport
liquids. It is a cost effective way to provide a high impact, vibrant,
health conscious message. It is reusable and discourages the purchasing
of environmentally damaging single-use bottled water. And the fact that
it is one of the most highly used promotional products of all college
recruitment materials, trade show giveaways, and orientation packages.
But perhaps the most important and overlooked aspects of custom sports
bottles is that they are most often used publicly for positiv

The two most over-used buzzwords in business of the last ten to
fifteen years are "China's Coming" and "The internet will change
everything". Curiously, it's not very often that you hear both buzzwords
used together - but why not ? Using the internet to do business with
China has to be one of the smartest ideas around.
First of all,
China has some incredible advantages in terms of trade. It has easy
access to raw materials and cheap labour. Its economic base is growing
and there is very little that China can't produce. Secondly, it is a
massive and growing market for all sorts of products and services and
with an increasing taste for western brands. These facts alone make
doing business with China a very interesting proposition, let alone the
fact that your competitors are already thinking about how they can lower
costs and/or expand sales by doing business with China.
But there
are a number of drawbacks to doing face to face business

We all know that the newest craze is bottled water. There are two
important facts that you should know and I would like to give them to
you today.
First, the bottles that are used are harmful to the
environment. Over 60 million plastic bottles are produced, transported
and disposed of every day in the U.S.A. It has gotten so bad that some
cities are now declaring a ban on bottled water for city use. Some are
even adding a tax to help discourage its use by customers.
Second,
there have been studies that show that the water in bottles is
virtually the same as what everyone gets in their taps at home. There is
a perception that bottled is better that has been pitched by marketers
using words like underground aquifer and pristine mountain springs.
If
you do even more research on quality of water, you will find that there
are many toxic chemicals and organisms that are found in water supplies
across the country. I know that when I

Your beloved plastic water bottle is an enemy of the public
health, probably a fugitive from a landfill. Do not remain its known
associate, because you are guilty by association.
Leave the
plastics behind. Turn the page. Turn over a new leaf. At home, store
your purified water in glass and ceramic containers. Make similar
changes on the road and trails. Of course, you cannot take glass or
ceramic water containers to the gym, on the jogging trail and bike path.
Once again, however, modern science and advanced technology have risen
to the occasion, saving you and the environment with a shiny new metal
bottle. Save the planet and the American economy with a new steel
bottle.
You may not know just how much harm that innocuous-looking
plastic bottle can inflict. Americans consume more than 4.5 billion
plastic bottles of water each year, and barely 15% of those bottles make
it to recycling. The remainder end-up in landfills, where they will
